an invention for enabling people to hear
who are deaf, slightly or otherwise ."
Write to F. Hiscock, $40 Broadway, N.

be will give you all the points desired.
Read the following from the Medical
Record: "a lecturer in one of our hos
pitals, while illustrating progress in
medical science, introduced a deaf pa
tient whose case baffied all medical skill
and was considered hopeless. But an
invention belonging to F. Hiscock, New
York, having been recommended it was
used with very satisfactory results. as
it fully restored the bearing. 1t was
tested in other cases and found to be
more successful than any known device
for the relief of deafness. as hearing lost
for many years was fully restored by it.
This invention is all the more satisfac
tory as it is out of sight and does not
require to be held in position. And while
it can be readily removed or inserted by
the patients themselves it ia withal Gu
